unlike prisons that house individuals convicted of crime, jails predominantly contain those accused of crime and awaiting trial. still, almost everyone has their own idea of what kind of person comes to jail. but the reality rarely fits any one preconceived notion. and the maricopa county jail in phoenix, arizona, is no exception. >> i'm born and raised here in phoenix, arizona, been here 24 years, my whole life pretty much. i actually live about seven miles down lower buckeye road. >> robert miner wound up here after being caught with marijuana and a loaded shotgun. even though his old job only required at most a seltzer bottle. >> i am a bum clown, man, it's kind of -- a hobo clown what they call it. a little hobo bag.

21-year-old but as a teenager. >> and we were like exploding it everywhere and stuff. >> this one. >> i'm not even like an adult in my head yet. i'm not even there yet. i feel like a 15, 16-year-old boy, i mean, it's nothing i can really help. >> ha, ha. >> there is a deodorant. we're going to get a write-up. >> nothing to do in here. >> dailey's conflict with her gender and age is what brought her to jail. at 19 she began dating a 14-year-old girl who thought dailey was a boy. >> we went to the movies, all of a sudden she wanted to do stuff and like sexual stuff in the movies. and i didn't want to because she thought i was a guy. >> although dailey claims nothing happened other than innocent teenaged touching, the girl's parents filed charges and dailey was arrested. >> they found out that i was a

girl, and once they found that out, they looked into it and found out the age and called the cops. they gave me a sexual abuse charge, which is a felony 3. and then they gave me a sexual misconduct with a minor charge, which was a felony 2. i honestly didn't know i could get in this much trouble for something like this. i don't get why i have to be called a sex offender when i haven't even done anything sexual. >> have you had sex with girls before? >> no. >> not even in here? >> nope. >> and not with boys either? >> nope. >> like it disgusts me that i'm going to be called a child molester. i'm not. i'm like a kid. >> though dailey's identity got her in trouble on the outside, it's worked to her benefit on the inside. >> this is a list of all of the

girls that have been interested in me and in the five months that i have been here. i put a star next to ones that i have dated. i put a happy face next to ones that flashed me. and i have put like a weird little symbol next to the ones that have kissed me like her. >> this is your little black book? >> yes. >> and why do you document all the girls who hit on you? >> because it makes me feel good about myself. >> you will notice that she looks somewhat like a young boy, she, she is not very formed like a female, and she tends to accentuate that and put that forward toward the female inmates around here. i see inmate dailey as what i term bmoc which we used to call back in college, the big man on campus. >> see. there's emily. >> two stars. >> yep. dating star and kissed me star. >> all the girls that were in

the hall used to call me peter pan. she is my girlfriend. even though i am leery of being with men because of what i have been through in the past, i think being with her, i don't know, it's just -- it's something about it, her looking like a guy but knowing she is a girl is intriguing i guess. >> emilee keen is assigned to a neighboring housing unit. but the couple has learned to skirt jail regulations in order to carry on their clandestine courtship. >> we are not allowed to have any letters, we can't pass to any other inmates. so we have to be sneaky about it. so we go to this door, and then after it is folded like this, we just pass it under like that. and then they grab it. and then they write one and send it back.

i stuff this in my legal folders so they can't search it. this, i covered it with like a cover letter to the -- to the judge. but these are all of the letters from emilee. and i think i have given her even more. there's 71 letters in here. >> keen still remembers the first time dailey wrote her. >> i, you know, read the letter from brayden, and it said that she was born with x and y chromosomes and that she was taking shots of testosterone. it kind of blew me back a little bit. i was like, whoa, you know, i didn't think that would be something you would put off in the first letter that you are meeting someone. you know what i mean? but she didn't have no shame in it. >> when i wrote her the letter, i drew a picture of us in stripes. >> i have been in here five months. and i have done more thinking i

think in this five months than i have done in the past seven years. and brayden seemed like the type of chick that would help me stay on the positive side, you know, that would keep me going, you know, with god and stay out of trouble. is he watching me? >> uh-huh. >> uh-oh. >> dailey not only declares her feelings for keen in writing but also makes sure her needs are taken care of. >> i put money on her books the other day, too. her family is mad at her for being here. they don't. >> she started putting money on my books. so i found out, you know, that she was a little bit more serious than what i had taken her for. >> if it works out, then it works out. if not, at least i actually know that i have a chance with people that are -- that are at least 18 now because i didn't before. it felt like i look like their little brother.

coming up -- >> i was born five days before pearl harbor. that makes me an old guy. >> one of maricopa's oldest inmates comes to jail after mixing love and alcohol. >> i hadn't had any sex for seven months. and so that was kind of the straw that broke the camel's back.

weapon. >> my wife and i hadn't been getting along for quite a while. i wanted her to go to the bedroom to -- to have some sex, and i hadn't had any sex for seven months. and so it was kind of the straw that broke the camel's back when she told me to get out because i was drinking. and i loaded my .9 millimeter glock and went back in the living room. and i said, i'm not going to lay a hand on you, but i'm going to get your attention. i aimed it at her. and aimed it over, higher, not to harm her. fired off a shot. and in my frame of mind, in my insanity, that was my way of getting her attention. >> for that stanwick spent a few months at maricopa. then released on bond, he wasn't out three months before he was in trouble again. and this time his offense earned him a new identity on the cell block. >> my actual nickname here is rambo.

and that's from ramming my wife's condo with my truck. i'm nothing like rambo, but he is one of my heroes. that kind of makes me feel like a bigger guy. >> normally your older inmates are treated with a little bit more respect. they -- i guess it doesn't even really matter what race they are. they just come in here and they kind of have that respect given to them due to their age. the other inmates look out after them. take care of them. make sure they know the rules and the regs they have here in the jail and kind of follow them along. >> we take care -- we look out for him. he is a good old guy. we look out for the older dude, you know what i mean. he is all right. as long as his name ain't ramblow, i'm cool. >> ha, ha. >> while stanwick provides the inmate with a good laugh, his tattooed face illustrates some of the pain in his past. >> basically it's just so i don't have to shed any more tears. i've been through a lot of stuff

listen. a lot of them haven't had any dads. and i can be a dad figure. i can be a grandfather figure. and i'm grandpa or papa, and that's okay. there is a lot of camaraderie here. and we are all -- it's kind of like being in the military, not to insult the military, i've been there for ten years. there is a regiment to it. >> initially it took time for stanwick to accept being incarcerated. >> when he first got here, he had a little bit of an attitude problem. he was grumpy. i think he was having problems adjusting to the new environment that he had. nothing major. just, you know, kind of a pissy attitude i don't want to be here. so i'm going to be grumpy and he was a little abrasive and come in and for food and stuff like that. normally you ask them their name. most of them are really cool. hey, good morning, officer field. what's your name? stanwick! he changed over time.

i don't know if it was he came to the realization where he was at and accepted it or he got used to the environment as used as these guys can get. >> the biggest thing i tried to learn in here is how to stay out of trouble, you know, because i already come in with enough trouble and i don't need any more, and i'm trying to make the best of a bad situation. but there are some days it's not too bad. >> today is one of those days. stanwick just had a visit from his wife. he is hoping to salvage his eight-year marriage, despite having rammed her condominium with his truck. >> she visited for an hour. and we had a very nice discussion, and it looks like we may be able to put things back together. i am an alcoholic. and that's caused my problems with my marriage. i got seven grandchildren, one great-grandchild at home in ohio and i hope to be able to go and visit them this spring, summer,

and fall when i'm free and stay out of trouble. >> stanwick hopes that by getting himself in shape, he might be better able to deal with his alcoholism. >> 27 times around this loop is one mile. and i try to do two miles a day, because of my age and i can't really do the physical exercise all the young guys do. i believe that the system will turn me free, and i will be able to go back to being a retired old man like i was before i got into all this trouble. >> inmates at the maricopa county jail employ a variety of ways to pass time while doing time. brayden dailey likes to play tricks on her cellmate. >> she's terrified of the mice, so this is what i play on her all the time and she'll think there's a mouse in here. >> but dailey's jailhouse girlfriend, emilee keen, says her latest trick wasn't the

least bit funny. >> believe it or not, brayden ended up cheating on me with another girl. and i am very disappointed. >> have it. >> she was putting money on my books. everything was going good. and then i found out a couple of days ago that she started dating some girl that's been in the hole for like 45 days, so it's been going on and i guess you could say i do feel played, but, you can't hate the player, you hate the game. >> brayden is going out with carrie. >> his latest interest is carrie kimbrough who finished a turn in the hole after being tested positive for meth. >> carrie and i got really close writing each other. we go to rec with each other. sit down and talk to each other all the time. carrie and i would look at each other and be content. >> we are just friends kind of right now. she likes me more than that. i do have a husband that's in prison and we're not going to be

together anymore. he almost killed me. so, i'm anti-men right now. >> for kimbrough, the friendship with dailey has benefits. >> her mom puts money on my books every week. her mom sends me books. and it's something for me to do. >> dailey, who came to jail because of an inappropriate relationship with a minor, sees 28-year-old kimbrough as a step in the right direction. >> it's weird because our age difference is kind of a gap. she's about seven years older than me. so that's different from anything -- anyone i've dated before, obviously, and -- but we've gotten really close. i know pretty much anything about her, like, if you asked me i would know it. >> but there are some things dailey doesn't know. >> i don't think that i will carry on a relationship with brayden outside of jail. i think it's just a friendship thing. i think brayden is a little too immature, and her crime, the

actual specifics of her crime. my brother-in-law's a cop and i had him look her up. my brother-in-law sent me a postcard letting me know it was involving a very, very young minor so that didn't make me happy at all. brayden is just a friend. she needs somebody i think as a friend, you know, to be there for her, to maybe help guide her. but there is no way there would ever be anything sexual there. no way. >> carrie has trust issues because of her last relationship. she's afraid. like, carrie's been through a lot in past relationships and so have i. carrie and i had an issue about me being transgendered because she liked girls more than guys. and i was going to get surgery to be a guy. and i told carrie, well, if it absolutely came down to it, i could probably stop my surgery. but i told carrie how important it was to me, and she knows how important it is to me and she

agreed that she -- she would still be here. it would be fine. >> the key to survive is to be headstrong and don't show any weaknesses because in here, it's a -- it's like a zoo. you know, if somebody knows your weakness, they're going to eat it up. they're going to chew on it. coming up, personal dramas inside the maricopa county jail will forever alter lives.

deal with her prosecutor. >> you're in a little box all day, either by yourself or with a stranger that you don't know anything about. you don't know why they're there. and you can't have fun in jail. you can try, but you're here to do time and leave. >> but now at least the end is in sight. dailey decided to sign a plea deal reducing her charge of sexual misconduct with a minor to attempted sexual misconduct with a minor. as a result, she will serve another six months at maricopa before going home, but she will also face lifelong probation and must register as a sex offender, adhering to the long list of restrictions that come with it. >> the fear i have once i leave is the fact that every time i see someone younger than me or younger than 18, i'm going to have to -- i'm going to have to turn and basically run away.

i'm going to be labeled as a sex offender the rest of my life. and it's really hard because i've never seen myself like that. >> but dailey says she hasn't lost hope. >> i got to meet with my in-house probation officer, and she gave me some good news. i have lifetime probation, and i'm actually going to only be doing about five years of it if i do what i'm supposed to, if i get everything done, like get my ged, go to classes. >> dailey's friend, carrie kimbrough, has signed a plea in her case, as well. originally charged with 29 counts of fraud and racketeering and possibly facing 16 years in prison, she has pled to 3 counts of forgery with a sentence of 4 1/2 years. but with good time and probation she could be back home in a year and a half. >> i could have done cartwheels in my courtroom.

i was excited, i was happy. i'm very fortunate and very lucky that i'll get to go home in a year and a half and i'll be able to be with my kids and stuff. it's awesome. >> i was really excited because now i get to see her a lot quicker. my relationship with carrie after i get out of here, it's going to be pretty serious. i mean, we're already getting there. you can get married in prison. i've already checked into it. i had my mom do that. >> brayden dailey may believe they have a future together, but now that she's likely to soon be leaving maricopa, kimbrough has just revealed to us that her relationship with dailey was just a scam. >> my friend introduced me to brayden as a friend. she was like, she puts money on other girl's books. whatever, whatever. and i was like, yeah, right. and she was like, no, seriously, and you know emilee. she's a writer. so i started writing her letters. it became a hustle for me. my relationship with brayden is awesome.

completely. it's a letter writing -- her mom puts money on my books every week. it's a hustle. i don't have to see her, don't touch her. i'm over here, she's over there. it's a hustle. my mom's sick. i don't want to ask her for [ bleep ]. my mom's taking care of my kids. i don't have any money of my own right now. a girl has to have game while she's in jail, right? >> carrie kimbrough may be willing to cause pain in order to get what she wants. but 68-year-old patrick stanwick has learned the hard way that hurting people can come back to haunt you. his wife just sent separation papers to him. they arrived on his wedding anniversary. >> she said it was just a coincidence, but, you know, it seemed like a hell of a coincidence. >> what would you say to her? >> it would be what i've said to her in my letters, that i'm very sorry. we've always had a communication problem, and you were probably

better off not to have met me. and i can't say the same thing about her because i enjoy and love her. but she'll have wounds. she's already got wounds and -- from this. she's afraid of me and with the right -- with real reasons, and i hope that life goes on good for her. she's a good person. i haven't been a good grandpa or a good father. but i'm an alcoholic, and i did the best i could. so hopefully i'll get through this and still have a few years left to spend with my family. if my wife wants to come, if she's still my wife, then she's welcome to. but they got to be my priority

now, because my time's running out. >> like all inmates at maricopa, stanwick, dailey and kimbrough will see their identities forever altered by the actions that brought them here. so will aristeo salaiz. >> dealing with the other guys in here and just hearing their stories, it's like, it's very emotional. you know? i won't shed no tears at -- for anything, you know. me being in here is just -- it's not going to help anything crying about it. because, believe me, sometimes i do feel like crying, yelling out, screaming, hitting things, but it's very emotional. it's an emotional roller coaster in here.
